Fresh off a major title change at WrestleMania 40, the Intercontinental Championship picture is heating up. Sami Zayn's victory over Gunther ended the longest reign in the title's history, and now several superstars are jockeying for position as his first challenger.

One such competitor is Ricochet, who took to social media to stake his claim. Bronson Reed had previously pointed out his recent victories over Zayn, but Ricochet fired back with a pointed tweet: "I beat him FOR the IC title. "



This isn't the first time Ricochet has held the Intercontinental Championship. He defeated Sami Zayn for the title in March 2022, but his reign was cut short when Gunther dethroned him just a few months later. Zayn's WrestleMania win marked the end of Gunther's 666-day reign.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ricochet responded to a fan who argued he beat a "different" Sami Zayn. "Tbh I'm a completely different Ricochet," he replied, hinting at his own growth and development as a wrestler.

While Ricochet didn't qualify for the WrestleMania title shot, eliminated earlier in a Gauntlet match, he clearly has his eyes on the prize. With Sami Zayn as champion, the Intercontinental title scene promises to be an exciting battleground in the coming weeks.
